  • Preserve is out now on iOS and arriving soon on Android
  • Restore the natural world and create a thriving ecosystem
  • Enjoy three different modes, play for free and buy new biomes such as the dinosaur-filled Jurassic

More than ever, the topic of environmentalism and the natural world has taken hold of the public consciousness. And while it's a difficult topic to delve into, there's no doubt it hits hard. And that's something the gorgeous hex-based puzzler Preserve has capitalised fully on as it's now available on iOS and arriving shortly on Android!

If you've ever played a tabletop adaptation such as Dorfromantik or Kingdomino, then Preserve will very quickly seem familiar to you. You restore the natural world by placing different tiles and slowly forming a thriving ecosystem by synergising them.

And it's not just a generic woodland that you'll be cultivating either. Whether it's a forest, wetland or a meadow, there are different food chains to take into account as well as how the varying synergies of your chosen tiles will affect the wider ecosystem.

Woodn't you?

Preserve also boasts a variety of modes to explore and enjoy, such as puzzle (you can guess what this is), classic or creative. You'll also be able to enjoy an entirely original soundtrack to add to the relaxing atmosphere of rebuilding the battered wilderness.

You'll be able to try out Preserve entirely free, with optional in-game purchases to unlock different biomes such as the Marine and Jurassic. Suffice it to say, then, if rebuilding a woodland doesn't grab you, maybe going all Jurassic Park will? Either way, you can find Preserve right now on iOS, or keep an eye out for Android for when it does release.

Still, if, for whatever reason, the environmentalist theme of Preserve doesn't strike a chord with you, there's plenty out there to enjoy if you want to try something new. Why not check out our comprehensive list of the best puzzlers on Android to find more of our top picks in the genre?
